Description: | Joséphine Bowes, the co-founder (with her husband) of the Bowes Museum, was a keen amateur painter. She trained under Karl-Josef Kuwasseg (1802-1877), a well-known landscape painter whose work she imitated. In 1865 she spent a long holiday with her husband in Cernay-la-Ville, on the edge of the Forest of Rambouillet. This was a popular location with artists, and she liked it so much that her husband bought a house there. She used it regularly until about 1869. This study of trees may therefore well date from around that time. Joséphine Bowes painted trees many times, emphasising their sheer size. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bowes, Joséphine (French artist, 1825-1874) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8946... | Go to resource |
